Chapter 21 The Difference Between Immortals and Martial Arts
Long Xingmao admired the confused expressions of the two children. Every time he talked about the essence of martial arts, he would feel a sense of pleasure in imparting the truth. At that time, the expressions on the listener's faces, from incomprehension to sudden enlightenment, were the best rewards.
"In ancient times, there was no martial arts, but at that time, it was the prosperous era of immortals..."
With Long Xingmao's story, an ancient history about this world is gradually revealed in front of the two children.
In ancient times, the world was ruled by immortals.
Immortals have the power to reach the sky and the earth, and dominate all the people in the world.
At that time, humans were humans, immortals were immortals, and there was no such thing as immortals.
As one of the sentient beings, the human race was originally the most inconspicuous among the countless sentient beings. But from when people gradually gained the ability to cultivate immortals, they became the saying of immortals.
So from then on, there were only two divisions of people.
One is qualified to cultivate immortality, and the other is not qualified to cultivate immortality.
If a mortal wants to cultivate immortality, he needs to have immortal bones.
This immortal bone is not a bone, but a qualification for cultivating immortals that integrates bones, blood, and veins. Different characteristics determine different directions.
For most mortals, immortal bones are a huge threshold and cannot be overcome.
In the eyes of immortals, all mortals without fairy bones are fragile and inferior, and are born to be worthy of being slavery.
For this reason, the human race experienced tens of thousands of years of enslaved by immortals. During that period, the human race was bullied and the people were living in poverty, but they were unable to fight against the immortals. Whenever the disaster year was in danger, the people had no way to feed, and the only way was to die.
The survival of the human race is achieved through a large reduction in population.
It can be said that under the oppression of the entire immortal court, the human race lives a life worse than that of pigs and dogs. Only when a family occasionally has a bloodline with the qualification to cultivate immortals can it soar into the sky.
However, these mortals who are therefore brilliant will not consider the survival of other human races, and may even intensify their persecution.
It can be said that during those long dark years, the human race fully embodies the word "human nature is evil".
However, to the extreme of evil, good will appear, just as if the darkness has reached its end, light will appear.
I don’t know when, a powerful cultivator suddenly appeared in the human world.
This person is not an immortal. He does not understand immortal arts, but has a super strong physique. He has led countless mortals to challenge the fairy world with his powerful and domineering skills, and calls himself "Martial Emperor".
Of course, he was also the fastest failure.
It is said that the fairy world at that time only sent a few ordinary immortals to easily defeat the Martial Emperor.
It was not until later that the immortals discovered that the Martial Emperor was once an immortal cultivator. However, after he failed in a sect battle, he encountered a plot against his fellow disciples, lost his immortal roots and could no longer practice, so he was expelled from the sect. However, the Martial Emperor didn't know how to do it, but he actually took another approach and developed martial arts.
Although the martial arts he created are far less powerful than the immortal path, it is impossible to practice without the qualifications to cultivate immortals.
Therefore, Emperor Wu's martial arts were passed down.
People have discovered that although martial arts practice cannot fight against the immortals' magic skills, it has indeed greatly improved its own strength. If you practice to a high level, you can even fight against immortals in the Qi training stage.
Although the immortal cultivators in the Qi training stage are not qualified to be called immortals in the fairy world, there are many Qi training people, and the oppression of mortals is the most cruel and direct. Therefore, those mortals who are not qualified to practice the immortals practice martial arts to fight against the immortals.
At that time, they actually didn't think too much, they just wanted to rely on their martial arts foundation to gain a better chance of survival.
They just want to survive.
They did the fact.
After countless protests, the Immortal Court gradually got tired of the suppression. The most important thing is that the Immortal Sect itself is not united and often fights with each other. Killing mortals on a large scale will greatly reduce the resources of disciples with qualifications to cultivate immortals in their own area. At that time, in order to fight against the Immortal Sect, the mortals even took the initiative to find people with qualifications to cultivate immortals among the Immortal Sect and killed them first. This seven-injury fighting method did have a significant impact on the Immortal Sect.
For the long-term development of the sect and to fight against other immortal sects, the immortal world made its first concession to mortals.
Mortals are no longer pigs and dogs, and they will no longer be killed at will, but they can only be slaves of immortals. And if they disobey a little, they will still be killed.
From pigs and dogs to slaves, the resistance of mortals was eased for a while.
With a breathing opportunity, new growth is coming.
In the process of practicing martial arts, mortals' strength continues to improve, from acquired to innate, from innate to the Three Flowers, and then from the Three Flowers Realm to the Cave Heaven Realm. As their strength continues to improve, the strongest people even have the strength to compete with the Golden Elixir Immortal.
This caused panic among the immortals, and the first real battle between immortals and mortals began.
This war still ended in the unsurprising failure of mortals.
After all, at the fifth realm of immortals, the golden elixir is just the third realm, while the martial arts powerhouse in the cave realm is already top-notch.
In this case, mortals have no strength to fight against immortals at all. Martial arts powerful people were massacred and their martial arts practice even retreated for a while.
The rise of mortals came after they mastered the power of technology.
Over the past tens of thousands of years of development, mortals have gradually learned to rely on their brains to solve problems. They seek the truth of this world and explore the unknown. With the improvement of basic cognition, the scientific and technological system has gradually developed.
Just at this moment, a huge breakthrough also occurred in the fairy world.
The strongest immortals have the ability to travel around the world. They found that most of the immortals in the earliest period left this world because they had the ability to travel around the universe and explored the endless unknowns outside. So those top immortals also embarked on the path of their ancestors and left this world.
The rise and fall of power triggered the Second War between immortals and mortals.
This battle still ended with the victory of the Immortal World, but it also paid the price.
The status of mortals has been improved again, no longer a slave, but a servant.
But everyone knows that this is only temporary.
Since then, mortals have been crazy about studying science, practicing martial arts, and taking two-pronged approaches to improve themselves.
So not long after, the third battle of immortals broke out.
This third battle between immortals and mortals was what Xia Xiaochi had told Bai Enfei before. In the past 130 years, the immortals made a covenant, and mortals abandoned their military preparations, stopped their weapons and gave them equal status.
Since then, mortals have truly been qualified to have an equal dialogue with immortals.
However, after that, the mortal technology and martial arts power seemed to have come to an end, and it was difficult to win for the time being. The two sides continued to lose blood in the fierce battle, and one immortal sect after another even fell down. In the end, after the outbreak of the Ghost Abyss, peace was restored again in the face of the threat from the Ghost Clan, and even formed a certain degree of joint efforts.
